It will be a little while longer until I am back regularly, but for now you should know that Dave and I have signed up at Goodlife Fitness and it is going really well. We head to the gym any day that we aren't working on the big stuff that is going on in our lives right now. I will have to update you all later when I have more time and energy.

So I haven’t posted in a little while and that is because I didn’t want to write this post for a few reasons. The first of which is that it is going to be a longer one and I have been so busy lately I just haven’t had the time to sit down and write any posts let alone long ones.
Though I was successful in losing weight during Phase 1 of the Curves weight loss program and didn’t gain weight during Phase 2 of the program, I never quite grasped the concept of Phase 2 and wasn’t able to be very successful at it. Perhaps I am just not strong enough to be that strict with my food intake, and perhaps that type of slightly restrictive plan isn’t for me. Don’t get me wrong Curves is a really well thought out weight loss program that incorporates proper eating and use of all the food groups, but I don’t think it is really for me. It was also about this time that I heard about the changes with the Weight Watchers program.
The new Weight Watchers program is called Points Plus and has changed how points are calculated. Old points used to be based solely on calories, fat and fibre, but with the new program points are based on the ‘building blocks’ of calories: fat, protein, carbohydrates and sugar. This is to encourage healthier use of your points. Also, all fruit and most vegetables are free despite their natural sugar content. So long story short, I am now using this new program.
Thing are going well, I have gotten back on track and am definitely headed in the right direction now.
I have a few other changes in the works but don’t want to get into them just now.
It’s not really weight loss related (okay, it’s not at all weight loss related), but I have started my own website and would love it if you checked it out. Thanks!!

The past couple of days I have been trying my darndest to resist temptations in my attempt to stick to my diet and I HAVE SUCCEEDED...so far. Let's hope it stays that way as we head into the weekend.
Read more...When I tried the Curves diet for the first time I was pleasantly surprised with my first week of results. I lost about 6 pounds in that first week, but then only lost another 4 or so in the weeks following that. This wasn't necessarlily the diet's fault, but it is how it turned out. When I tried it the first time I also went with the Carbohydrate version of the diet thinking it would be easier for me as I love carbs and this version had more of them than the Protein version.
This time however, I am restarting the diet (ie. starting from Phase 1 of the diet) with the Protein version. The lower quantity of carbs will be difficult for me, but I have heard from friends, Curves members and in online forums that this version results in greater weight loss. Since I need the pounds to drop at a decent rate for me to stay motivated, I thought I would give it a try. I am on my third day and things are going well...though I think they usually go well the first few days of a diet.
